A Mormon missionary (Mitch Ryan) becomes dangerously unhinged after his lover (Dawn Olivieri) ends their brief affair to go back to her estranged husband (Kip Pardue).

Justin Chang

Variety

Taken strictly as a Cinemax-grade potboiler, "Missionary" is often a hoot, and more effective than it has any right to be.

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

This lean thriller deftly shows how the fervency needed to wholly embrace any one belief or institution can, if unchecked, yield dire consequences.

Seattle Times

A Southern Gothic thriller that begins on a high note but fails to deliver.

Rated: 2/4

Film Thrills

Missionary plays exactly like Fatal Attraction, with an obsessed Mormon missionary rather than the big-haired Glenn Close.

Cinemalogue

Things spiral downhill in predictable fashion, squandering a premise about faith and temptation that should have been much edgier and more provocative.

One Guy's Opinion

Little more than a pallid gender-reversal version of 'Fatal Attraction' with an unseemly religious twist...at best cable-TV fodder.

Rated: C-

Missionary is about a young man the falls in love with a separated mother and he has a dark side after their affair is ended by the mum because she wants to rekindle things with her ex he looses it and starts terrorizing the women the son and the dad. In a nutshell he is a wako. The movie is not great and is not recommended. Give it a miss.

You want this movie to be more but with bad story, acting and no clue...it fails on you. Everything is rushed, it becomes hypercritical and lacking suspense. It wants to be Fatal Attraction with a religious element but instead it becomes a Lifetime movie.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
